Cutting Boards
For a home chef, creating the ultimate kitchen starts with the right tools.
A high-quality cutting board is a must-have to make sure you not only protect your countertops, but also have a safe and stable surface for all your cutting tasks. From classic wood cutting boards to modern Sur La Table bamboo cutting boards and plastic cutting mats, our collection features a wide variety of options. Plus, you’ll find helpful accessories like conditioning oils and creams to keep your cutting boards in excellent shape for years of high-quality, trusted use.
Which Cutting Board Is Right for You?
The best cutting boards for your kitchen are the ones that will adequately suit your needs. There are a few things to consider when choosing the best cutting board.
Counter space and storage: You might love the look of a large, thick-block wood cutting board. However, if you have nowhere to store it or it takes up half your counter, it’s probably not the right fit. For a storage-friendly solution, try thin cutting mats made from antibacterial plastic.
Maintenance and conditioning: Wood and bamboo have slightly softer surfaces, which can be a little easier on your knives and help hold ingredients in place. These boards require a little more maintenance with oil or cream conditioning, however, so this that into account before buying one. Wood cutting boards should never be put in a dishwasher. Harsh detergents and high heat will ruin, split and/or warp a wood cutting board.
Materials: Although harder materials like glass may be dishwasher-safe, they can wear down your knife’s blade over time. A plastic cutting board may be appealing to some. However, remember that every cut or groove on a plastic surface is permanent. These grooves can also be prime breeding grounds for bacteria.
